The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 505

She had misunderstood him, just as he had said.

Feeling sorry, she considered going over to apologize. At that same moment, Derek turned around, and their eyes coincidentally met. When he saw the apologetic look on her face, he just smiled faintly and carried on with his work.

Natalie heaved a helpless sigh.

“Miss, do you still want this tie?” a shop assistant asked. Natalie nodded. “Please wrap it up.”

As she waited for the payment to be processed, she received a message from Brandon, asking who had brought her breakfast.

Natalie pondered for a while. In the end, she told him that the waiter had made a mistake, and that the matter had already been solved. She had misjudged Derek just now, so she didn’t want to say anything more that might add to her transgressions against the poor man.

Natalie stayed at the mall until noon. She was just about to take a taxi back to the hotel when she ran into Derek again.

Derek had been sitting in his van all this time, having finished his part of the shoot. When he saw Natalie walking out the mall in the distance, he scrambled out of the vehicle and ran to greet her.

“We meet again, Natalie,” he greeted as he walked up to her.

The sun was bright and hot at this time of the day, so they took care to stand in a nearby shade. “Are you on your way back to the hotel?” Derek asked. “Do you think you can give me a ride?”

“Where is your van? Did your manager leave you again to have dinner with other models?” Natalie said flatly. “Call him and tell him to come pick you up.”

She’d rather not talk to Derek if she could avoid it. So, she lowered her head and looked at her cell phone.

As he squatted in the shades, Derek looked up at her and asked, “Are you still angry? Although you misunderstood me, I forgave you and didn’t ask you to apologize. How could you still be so upset with me?”

Derek sighed after a while, pretending to sad. “Wilder just scolded me. Now I’m not even allowed to ride in the van. I’ll have to walk back to the hotel. Oh, by the way, Wilder is my manager. He gave me an ultimatum. If I do something like this again, he won’t give me work anymore.”
